  • A Clean Room

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of a vacuum cleaner to our classroom. Your kindness and thoughtfulness have made a meaningful difference in our daily learning environment.

    Maintaining a clean and comfortable space is essential for our students' focus and well-being, and your gift is helping us do just that. The vacuum has already made an impact because our classroom feels fresher and more inviting, and it's so much easier to keep things tidy after our busy days of learning.

    Thank you for supporting our class in such a practical and helpful way. Your generosity means a lot to both me and my students, and we are truly grateful for your support.”

  • Books Are the Best

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your donation of the peekaboo books to our classroom. When the students first saw them, their faces lit up with excitement, and it was truly a joy to witness their enthusiasm. They eagerly turned each page, fascinated by the intricate designs and interactive elements that made the stories come to life in a whole new way.

    Over the past days, these books became a favorite in our classroom. The students took every opportunity to explore them, sharing their discoveries with one another and immersing themselves in the magic of storytelling. Many of them were inspired to read more and ask questions. It was nice to see their love for reading grow, all thanks to your kindness.”

  • Let's Score A Goooooooal!

    Funded Dec 2, 2024

    On behalf of my class, I wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of soccer goals, pinnies, balls, corner flags, and the wagon.

    Your thoughtful contribution made a significant impact on our students. The excitement on their faces when we set up the equipment for the first time was priceless. They eagerly jumped into games, practiced new skills, and, most importantly, built teamwork and confidence through soccer.

    The wagon has been a lifesaver, making it so much easier to transport everything to and from the field. Thanks to you, soccer has become a highlight of the day, and the students are already showing improvement in both their abilities and their love for the sport.

    We are grateful for your support and for helping us create such meaningful opportunities for our students. Your kindness will continue to inspire them on and off the field.”

  • Care Packages

    Funded Aug 29, 2024

    Thank you for helping us obtain these personal hygiene products including deodorant, wipes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and dental floss.

    The students created 100 care packages. Then we passed them out to students. They took them home to use as needed. By providing deodorants, wipes, dental floss, toothbrushes, and toothpaste discreetly it addressed hygiene concerns, creating an environment where all students felt comfortable. We cannot wait to do another project like this to support our students. Thank you so much for supporting our school.”

    Thank you for the Teachers Pay Teachers resources. I have obtained a variety of language resources. I am continuing to work on organizing my speech resources from Teachers Pay Teachers. This will help me find the resources quickly and then print and immediately start using them.

    These resources have helped my students by enriching their language, vocabulary, and communication skills. The visuals have helped my students transition from one activity to the next throughout their school day. The visuals have also increased their communication skills.

    Thank you for making this possible.”
